    If in a wire of Young's modulus Y, longitudinal strain X is produced, then the value of potential energy stored in its unit volume will be:

    A)  \[0.5\,Y{{X}^{2}}\]                         

    B) \[0.5\,{{Y}^{2}}X\]

    C)  \[2Y{{X}^{2}}\]                

    D)  \[Y{{X}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Given: Young's modulus =Y Longitudinal strain =X The potential energy stored is given by                                 \[=\frac{1}{2}\times \text{stress}\,\text{ }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ }\,\text{strain}\]                                 \[=\frac{1}{2}\times Y\times X\times X\]                                 \[=\frac{1}{2}Y{{X}^{2}}\]\[(\because \,stress=\Upsilon \times strain)\]                                 \[=0.5\,\Upsilon {{X}^{2}}\]
